This study examines the relationship between employee involvement in decision making and firms’ performance in the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. Data were generated by means of questionnaires to 670 manufacturing firms on employee involvement in decision making and performance variables. Responses from the survey were statistically analysed using descriptive statistics, product moment correlation, regression analysis and Z-test (approximated with the independent samples t-test). The results of the study indicate a statistically significant relationship between employee involvement in decision making and firms’ performance as well as reveal a significant difference between the performance of firms whose employee involvement in decision making are deep and the performance of firms whose employee involvement in decision making are shallow. The findings also reveal the involvement of participating firms in employee involvement in decision making. The implications of this study include the need for manufacturing firms to demonstrate high level of commitment to employee involvement in decision making for performance enhancement.

- Perceived leadership style and employee participation in a manufacturing company in the democratic republic of Congo (2012, background): “Marchington (1995) aptly comments that “employees are attracted to the general concept of involvement and participation; indeed it will be remarkable if they were not, given that the alternative is to argue for autocratic and non-communicative management style.”
